Jimmy Tarbuck’s Bad Day
Rich has witnessed the miracle of the birth of some lamb chops near his countryside home and will be contemplating human birth with this week’s guest, back after 101 podcasts, Al Murray.
They chat about how Al (with Ben Moor) might have been in the running to replace Trev and Simon, time travel, the risks of app sharing with your children, what it’s like to be sent to boarding school at the age of 9, how Rich and Al’s ancestors may have died in each other’s arms at Dunkirk, having sex with a Frankingstein, how getting sovereignty gives you less sovereignty. Plus working in panto, showing Judy Dench your Bottom and travelling through time.

STD from a Vulcan
Richard continues to be surprised by the difference of living in the country and surprises his neighbours with his specialised knowledge about genitalia, but is very excited to be welcoming American superstar comedian Maria Bamford.
They talk about the difficulty of telling a joke to people who find out you’re a comedian, how some people have no sense of humour, the difficulty of making love to music, how charity only has any value if its in public, the power of unwanted thoughts and turning the worst moments of your life into comedy. Also how to deal with spousal arguments, the two words that hooked Maria’s husband and using your family for comedic purpose. Luckily Maria proves to be all you would hope and more. Hooray for that.

How To Twerk
Richard is marvelling about a new interpretative dance based on “All You Need is Love” but soon he will be dancing himself with brilliant new comedian and writer, Sophie Willan.
They talk about how a trip to Ibiza with your techno-loving gran can ignite a love of theatre, what Rylan is like in real life, the therapeutic nature of stand up (and whetter it’s healthy to work things through on stage), the intersection between madness and comedy, growing up in and out of care, thinking Richard Ashcroft is your dad and why comedy and theatre are so middle class. Plus is it always best to be in a monogamous relationship and how much is comedy like sex work? If you’ve seen Richard dancing, then not very much.

Maniac in a Suitcase
Giving away a prize to a lucky audience member, Rich reminisces about schoolday bags and realises how much work he has got to do to relearn his 11 old stand up shows for his insane attempt to do them all at the Leicester Square Theatre in August and September. His guest is a man who has done Chekov, Dickens and Celebrity Juice, Johnny Vegas.
It’s a truly fascinating discussion about the duality of the stand up and where a Johnny ends and Michael Pennington begins. Michael discusses the lengths that Johnny would push him to and his total commitment to being a dog on stage, whether contentment and success mean the death of the character, how to make your own audience out of balloons, why he got the worst degree in his year at University and how he got his revenge, how Monkey has clung to his back like a monkey and the funniest sex show in history. It’s really good.

Do the Hokey Cokey

Rich muses on passports and the fruition of John Moloney’s aged comedians TV show, before meeting the fiercely intelligent comedian and writer Desiree Burch.

They talk about posters made up of penises, being a virgin dominatrix, the fucked up state of America, the laziness of racism, unwanted and wanted piano lessons, changing your appearance to gauge the reaction of the world and why men send dick pics. But never to Rich. Plus the joy of beautiful destruction.
